Yiwu: According to historians who have done research at Sagya Temple in eastern Tibet, it was in about the middle of the 13th century, at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1386)..... The argument about China have owned Tibet since Yuan dynasty, so Tibet is a part of China. blah, blah, blah... Do Chinese really believe these non-sense ? I hope not. So China also owns Moscow because it was also belonged to Yuan Dynasty, so were Korea, Vietnam, Thailand.... Do Chinese know Tibetan hate them? Do Chinese really care about Tibetan? Do Chinese really treat Tibetan as equals? That doesn't mean much though since they kill their own people without hestiation. It really scare me although Chinese consider themselves peace-loving people, but when China gets stronger they will always invade his neighbors. History tells me that. If you know anything about Chinese history, you know Chinese are very good at killing their own people, let alone non-Chinese. regards

China book to fuel Jiang personality cult 06:12 a.m. Apr 20, 1999 Eastern BEIJING, April 20 (Reuters) - China has launched a compilation of essays by Communist Party chief Jiang Zemin on trips to the countryside as part of apparent government efforts to fuel a cult of personality, analysts said on Tuesday. The publication of ''General Secretary Jiang Inspects the Countryside'' is apparently designed to thrust Jiang to a status alongside the deified chairman Mao Zedong and the late paramount leader Deng Xiaoping, the analysts said. Heaps of books have been published on the thoughts and sayings of Mao, who founded the People's Republic in 1949. Selected works of Deng, another revolutionary giant who freed China from the shackles of central planning, have also been published. ''This is just the beginning,'' said one Chinese analyst who asked not to be identified. ''It will become compulsory reading for Communist Party cadres in the countryside,'' he said. ''There will be many similar books published compiling Jiang Zemin's speeches.'' The book is a compilation of eight ''important speeches'' by Jiang during trips to rural areas since he became party general secretary in 1989 and 74 news stories on those trips, the official People's Daily said. The state-owned China Agricultural Publishing House printed 10,000 copies, which sell for 16.50 yuan ($2.00) each, a company official said. More copies would be printed, the official said. A picture of Jiang wearing a straw hat and a long-sleeved shirt while speaking to party cadres is splashed on the cover of the book. Jiang is eager to cash in on Mao's cult and Deng's popularity. The state media, and senior colleagues, refer to Jiang as ''the core of the third generation leadership.'' Mao is regarded as the first generation leader and Deng the second generation.
